First of all, liveaboards are expensive. If you are looking for a
budget vacation, this ain't it. It's fun, but it ain't cheap.

My order of preference for Belize liveaboards is:

Adventures in Belize, is Ian Anderson's place on the mainland. It is more
about caving, hiking and inland naturalist experiences. They would just be
acting as a booking agent for you and not as the dive op.

I hear good things about Everette

Diving isn't their main gig and they would be booking you out to another
operator, as well.

Gaz' place is up north on Ambergris Caye, so I'm making an educated guess
that is not what you are looking for either.

Liveaboards are expensive. Check out these guys:
http://www.ambergriscayediving.com/ don't worry about the rate you see of
$30 per tank. You can easily negotiate a discount on a block of dives.
Chuck and Robbie are friends of mine. Robbie is an excellent DM and a very
cool dude.

or these guys: http://ambergriscaye.com/discountdive/index.html Ched is
also an excellent DM and it looks like they've got some pretty good deals.
I suspect that the inexpensive hotel/dive combo is for Hotel del Rio
http://ambergriscaye.com/hoteldelrio/index.html and Coral Beach Hotel
http://www.coralbeachhotel.com/. I don't think Hotel del Rio has
airconditioning in the thatched unit but it's on the beach. Coral Beach
Hotel, has been recently renovated and it's right in the middle of town on
Front Street, 1/2 block off the water and has airconditioning. My friend
Fitz owns/runs it.

Keep in mind that it's very very hot in September and also hurricane season,
though most hurricanes in that area lately, have been in October and
November.

I spent a week aboard Peter Hughes' Sun Dancer II in June 2003 and had
a great time. The Aggressor III sports a hot tub. Both vessels have
EAN capability and we dove EAN32 on all dives except the Blue Hole.

Peter Hughes and Agressor immediately come to mind. You do know that
liveaboards aren't exactly "budget" diving.
